I have never actually fielded Missiles Launchers on Havocs before...
Weird right? lol
I have a question about these different grenades though. As it stands I know I can buy the upgrades to allow my Havocs to get Skyfire and shoot at planes.
However, the Krak Missile portion of this weapon confuses me slightly. I understand that Krak Grenades can be used against Vehicles as assault grenades (also against MCs) But can these Krak MIssile shots be used against only Vehicles and Mc's like their Grenade counterparts?
For example, can I shoot a Krak missle into a squad of nobs? I know it doesn't have a "Blast" rule so it may only hit 1 model (Like a Seeker Missle) But is this allowed?

Missile launchers have 2 profiles (generally) you can fire it any legal target. There is no restriction on unit type. Krak Grenades, can only be used against MCs and vehicles in CC.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

Good intent, wrong information. Pg 62 states that Krak Grenades can be thrown up to a range of 8" and have S/ AP values. They are Assault 1. You're thinking of Melt Bombs which can only be stuck to big things.

Your misreading my post (my fault did not word it better). What I should have said is "In CC, Krak Grenades can only be used against vehicles and MCs.".

That is also true. 
I wish I could Krak grenade regular infantry.

The easiest way to stop the confusion is to disconnect Krak grenades and Krak missiles in your mind.
For grenades, check the grenade rules.
For missiles, just use the Krak profile for the missile launcher like you would any other firing weapon.
